A Gold Coast surfer has been left “stinging” after a close encounter with a leaping dolphin. Sam Yoon was surfing at Duranbah when a leaping dolphin landed on top of him. He said the dolphin landed on his shoulder and back, but his face was also hurting as a result of the collision. But he said he still loved dolphins. “So chilled…I was singing to them for like the whole surf, beautiful,” he said.
